[Germ cell testicular tumors: understanding the kinetics of serum human chorionic gonadotropin during chemotherapy].
The analysis of longitudinal series of tumour markers during chemotherapy in patients with germ cells tumors is not easy. The purpose of this work is to present various characteristic profiles of the evolution of serum human chorionic gonadotropin during chemotherapy and review the modalities of the dynamic interpretation of this marker.
